Panama Canal Cruise, Off To The Airport In The Morning

It is Friday, April 13th. I catch my flight to Fort Lauderdale tomorrow morning, but I am not worried at all.  I followed my check list and I am ready to go.

ONE WAKE-UP AND I AM ON MY WAY!!!

A year’s worth of planning and it is almost time to take our cruise of a lifetime.

I guess I better get my checklist out and go over everything one last time..

  • Finalize packing, check!
  • Confirm flight times and print out boarding passes, check!
  • Confirm shuttle service, check!
  • Confirm hotel reservations, check!
  • Make sure to put your passports, confirmation paperwork and cruise docs in carry-on, check!
  • Set alarm and go to sleep.

I am still wondering about staying in touch.  I have read everything that I can find, but I still wonder.  I know that we will purchase a package of minutes of computer time so that we can stay in touch. Don’t expect my cell phone to work as anything but a camera until we make it to Puerto Vallarta.  I have put everything that I need to have handy in my carry-on bag: Tickets, passports, confirmations, cruise docs, money, meds, cameras, books, e-reader, chargers, etc…

Panama Canal Cruise, 7 Days Before Departure

Today’s email from Norwegian Cruise Lines, “Ready, Set Cruise!”

ONE WEEK LEFT!!!

I cannot believe that we only have two weeks to go before we take our cruise of a lifetime.

I guess I better get my checklist out and go over everything to make sure we are ready.

  • Finalize packing list, check!
  • Extra batteries, chargers, memory cards, etc…, check!
  • Finish most of the packing, check!
  • Go through your wallet/purse and remove stuff you won’t need.
  • Make copies of your passport and leave copy with someone at home and put copies in your suitcases.
  • Confirm flight times, etc… Do this again the day before you go to the airport.

One of the things I read about a long time ago is to pack half of your stuff in your bag and half in your partner’s bag. Of course, half of your partner’s stuff in her bag and half in your bag. A very good plan, just in case one of the bags gets lost in your air travel or even lost between the airport and your cabin on the ship.

Also, you want to make sure that you have followed your checklist for the essential carry on bag so that you have your important documents, money, meds, cameras, books, e-reader, chargers, etc… in your carry-on bag. In my case, it is a lightweight backpack.
